WHAT WE DO
New builds and high‑performance homes
We can deliver anything from conventional builds to high‑performance and Passive House‑inspired designs that stay warm, dry, and efficient in Canterbury’s climate. Smart detailing around insulation, air-tightness, and ventilation is combined with practical layout advice so the finished home is both comfortable and easy to live in.
Renovations, extensions, and alterations
We handle renovations and house extensions that make existing Christchurch homes work better, from opening up living spaces to adding extra bedrooms or outdoor connections. Projects are staged and managed to minimize disruption, protect the existing structure, and integrate new work seamlessly with the old so the home feels cohesive, not patched together.
Bathrooms and interior upgrades
Bathroom upgrades, laundry refits, and interior improvements are treated with the same care as larger builds, with attention to waterproofing, ventilation, and durable finishes. Clients get clear advice on fixtures, fittings, and materials suited to everyday use, and tidy workmanship that respects the fact the bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house.
Quality, credentials, and how to get started
As a Master Builder and Licensed Building Practitioner, we work under recognized New Zealand industry standards, giving clients confidence in both workmanship and process. Getting started is as simple as a site visit and discussion about budget, timing, and priorities, followed by a clear plan so homeowners know exactly what will happen and when on their project.
“Good building is about trust. I treat every project like it’s my own home, with the same care, detail, and respect for your budget.”
